I just noticed today that I could zoom in when the screen was locked, and then suddenly realized my Amarok shortcuts were working. Since reading these comments, I realize I can also type a command into a run dialog while the screen is locked. Just zoom in, and shortcuts start working. Ubuntu Gutsy with gnome-screensaver 2.20.0-0ubuntu4.2 and compiz 1:0.6.0+git20071008-0ubuntu1.
